Checks whether the default FormatOptions can be modified for a given unit type.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 2015.0.0.0 (2015.0.0.0)
Since: 2014

Syntax

C# 
public static bool IsModifiableUnitType(
	UnitType unitType
)
Visual Basic 
Public Shared Function IsModifiableUnitType ( _
	unitType As UnitType _
) As Boolean
Visual C++ 
public:
static bool IsModifiableUnitType(
	UnitType unitType
)

Parameters

unitType
Type: Autodesk.Revit.DB UnitType
The unit type to check.

Return Value

True if the FormatOptions can be modified, false otherwise.

Remarks

The Units class stores a FormatOptions object for every valid unit type, but not all of them can be directly modified. Some, like UT_Number and UT_SiteAngle, have fixed definitions. Others have definitions which are automatically derived from other unit types. For example, UT_SheetLength is derived from UT_Length and UT_ForceScale is derived from UT_Force.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentOutOfRangeException A value passed for an enumeration argument is not a member of that enumeration
